Chapter 41: The Past

That night, Lin Qiyi really turned out a lot of wine from Ye's house: "I'll just say why you always smell a smell of wine, it turns out that you really hide so much." ”

Ye said with a smile: "I used to love it, but it is easy to make mistakes when drinking, so I smell the smell and rarely drink again." ”

Lin Qiyi: "It's not important today, why don't you just have a few drinks with me? ”

Ye couldn't excuse himself, but he happened to be a little depressed in his heart, so he drank a few glasses. Phantom waited outside for a while, seeing that it was almost time, and pulled Chang Jue into the house.

Ye was already a little drunk, and when he saw the two of them, he hurriedly greeted him: "It's just the right time, I have wine to drink today." ”

"Good wine has its own character that loves wine, and I came here to ask you something. Phantom Wu declined, intending to go straight to the door.

"Oh, please. ”

Phantom: "Is there any misunderstanding between you and Zhuo?"

Ye smiled on his face, and most of the wine dispersed: "Zhuo is my junior sister, what misunderstanding can there be between us." ”

Phantom Wu had expected that it would not be so easy, but he was not in a hurry: "Whether there is a misunderstanding, I don't know." But anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is indeed a problem between the two of you, and you can ignore it, but you can't ignore your feelings. I can see that she is in pain, and you must know that she is in pain, but you choose to retreat and ignore it. ”

"I ......"

Phantom Wu didn't want to hear him distinguish, and said bluntly: "Don't hide it, I'm a dream doctor, weaving dreams for people, of course, you can also modify your memory, delete what you don't want, repair what you have forgotten, in short, it is people who help people eliminate misunderstandings and worries through dreams." Our trip was originally to cast the knife, the knife has been cast, we should have left a long time ago, but I saw that there are worries between the two of you, if you want, you might as well let me explore the dream, if there is any misunderstanding between the two of you, it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible, and there is no need to be so bitter and resentful. ”

Ye listened to Phantom's words, and was silent for a long time, and the room became very quiet for a while.

"There really wasn't any misunderstanding between the two of us. Ye sighed deeply, "It's just that the past is too deep and separates us too far." ”

"What the hell is going on? Even if we can't do anything about it, we might as well say it. Lin Qiyi couldn't sit still, he was most annoyed by this kind of twisting and turning, wouldn't it be nice to explain something clearly?

Ye looked at a room of people staring at him with blazing eyes, just like a group of younger brothers and sisters who were younger than him in his childhood looked at him expectantly, just to listen to himself make up a few stories, among which the brightest eyes were Zhuo. But now, are her eyes still as bright as they were then?

Memories are like a flood beast, once the floodgates are opened, you can't help yourself to stop its turbulent waves.

Casting is a special existence in the rivers and lakes, most of the disciples are picked up by the master out, and their descendants are never allowed to teach skills unless they are really talented, but are crossed by different masters.

Ye's master's name is Lie, and as his name suggests, his temperament is as stubborn and impulsive as fire.

Lie is a first-class disciple, a gifted child found outside by his master Ye's ancestor Ming.

Zhuo's master practice was also a rare female disciple in the casting door at that time, and her training talent was extremely high, she was the daughter of the swordsmith Ming at that time, and was personally taught by the swordsmith as an apprentice.

Lie and Lian were the best of the disciples, and they were soon chosen as the next swordsmith and swordsmith.

Among the disciples of their generation, there is another special existence, and that is Yu.

Yu is Liehe Lian's junior disciple, but he is closer to Lian, because he is also Xu's disciple and can be regarded as Lian's direct junior disciple.

No one knows where Yu came from, he was born in the casting gate since he was a child, and he was brought up by the masters of the casting gate, his talent is extremely high and unmatched, and his infatuation with the art of casting is also unmatched.

In fact, if it weren't for Yu's uninhibited personality, the responsibility of succeeding the knife caster would not fall on Lian's head, which is why Lian always loves and tolerates this little junior brother.

But this kind of love and tolerance is a little bad in Lie's opinion.

Lie's heart is actually inferior, he was born poor, if he hadn't been accepted as a disciple by Ming, he would only struggle in a miserable life now, or he would have died a long time ago.

Lie's talent is not as good as Yu, so he works extra hard, and I don't know if he wants to prove himself more, or if he just wants to make Lian pay more attention to himself.

The life of a caster is always monotonous, and Lie, who is not deeply involved in the world, is even more persistent in the ignorant love in his heart.

In his heart, his sister is the hibiscus blooming faintly on the sparkling water, and the white practice dancing under the moon is out of reach.

Being accepted under the door of Xuan means that he will not be able to contact the world of swordsmiths in this life, but Yu is eager to learn all the methods of casting, and after learning all the methods of weapon casting that he can learn, all of Yu's attention is focused on sword casting.

He can't control the obsession in his heart, and the only breakthrough is undoubtedly his senior sister practice.

"Senior sister, did you say that forging a sword is the same as ours?"

"It's different. ”

"Senior sister, you are the daughter of Master Ming, you should know how to forge a sword, right?"

"Ah Yu, don't talk nonsense, I have been raised under my master since I was a child, and I never talk about casting when I get along with my father, how can I understand?"

"Senior sister, don't be angry, I mean, do you occasionally see Master Ming's manual or something, does it say anything?"

"Nope. ”

"Then you always saw the casting process a few times when you were a kid, right?"

"And how do I remember?"

"Senior sister, you just don't want to tell me......"

"You......"

Yu tried to practice several times, showing his curiosity and desire to forge swords.

Practice only as a child's heart, and did not take it to heart. It wasn't until he was overheard by Lie that Lie knew that Yu had been coveting the secret method of forging swords, and Lian had been helping him hide it.

In his opinion, Yu is already disrespectful to his master, and his attitude towards practice is even more painful.

Do you want to tell Master about this? But tell Master, what should I do about practicing? Lie's heart was uneasy and guilty, he felt guilty about Master's teachings, but he couldn't bear to practice.

The only thing he could do was keep an eye on the two of them.

Until one day, Lie found that Lian had secretly entered Master Ming's room.

Did she really want to steal Master's secret method for Yu? Could she really like Yu to the point of ignoring the rules?

Lie's heart was not only more painful but also more angry, he kept up with the figure of Lian, only hoping that what he thought in his heart was not true.

But when he saw with his own eyes that he had passed through the master's refining furnace and entered the secret room, his heart was almost broken.

He stood at the door of the secret room blankly, and even hoped that when his sister came out, if he didn't hold Master's secretary in his hand, he would have been able to do it today.

He endured it again and again, and when he saw Lian step out of the secret room, and it was the secretary who forged the sword in his hand, the jealousy and anger in Lie's heart completely disrupted his reason, and he rushed forward to slap Lian is face.

Lian Bu dodged or dodged and fell to the ground with a palm, in Lie's opinion, it was because he was a thief with a weak heart, and he was angry and attacked, where did he notice that Lian Muran's expression only regained his clarity the moment he fell to the ground.

"Lie, I ......" Lian looked confused, and a sharp pain in her left shoulder came, and she suddenly understood.

"Do you like Yu so much? Just because he wants to learn how to forge swords, you can steal Master's secretary for him?

Lian originally wanted to say something, but when she heard a few words of interrogation, she slowly stood up and said, "So that's how you think of me." ”

"Isn't that the case?

Lian took a fancy to the secretary in his palm, laughed, but tears burst out of his eyes: "That's right, it's what you see...... I don't want to argue any more, take me to the penalty. ”

"I think, the truth of the matter shouldn't be what your master saw, right?" Several people heard this without saying a word, and Phantom Wu suddenly spoke.

Ye Ye also sighed, he shook the wine glass in his hand, the amber liquid reflected his eyes, and the look in it couldn't even be understood by himself: "That's right, Lian was drugged by Yu, similar to a Gu that obeys people's orders for a short time, Gu worms will also die in a short time, the person in the Gu is ignorant and unconscious, if the master doesn't find out, I'm afraid Yu can really steal the secret method of sword casting without anyone noticing." But the master didn't know it, and he was completely carried away by the anger. “

Changjue: "What happened to Lian and Yu in the end?"

"Yu was cut off and scrapped, expelled from the casting gate, and disappeared. There is only one requirement for practice, and after teaching all the knife casting techniques, she was also picked off the tendons, but she did not leave the casting door. Ye put down the wine cup in his hand, and for some reason, after saying so much, the wine in his mouth was completely gone.

"Severed hand...... It's really cruel, but that Yu should also be, and his mind is not right. But Lian Mo is just an innocent sufferer, she probably didn't expect that her junior brother would really covet swordsmanship so much, at most it was an negligence, or because she didn't know people clearly, and her experience was too little and too simple. Lin Qiyi looked at his hands lovingly, shook his head and sighed.

"With such a punishment, your ancestors probably also know the hidden secrets, right?" Phantom Wu felt that if he punished Lian according to Lie's kind of thinking, I am afraid it would only be more serious than Yu.

Ye nodded: "My ancestors are all nitpickers, and they must find out the past clearly." Fortunately, Yu didn't want to harm anyone, so he made all the moves. ”

Phantom: "Then your master doesn't know?"

Ye: "Since that incident, my master has traveled far away, and it was not until many years later that my uncle came back, and my uncle had already been haunted by his life, but she still did not tell the truth until the last moment of her life. She told Master that she couldn't help but tell him the truth after hesitating for a long time. She felt that if she died like this, Master would no longer remember him, and now that she was going to die, she wanted to make Master guilty for the rest of her life, but she could no longer make up for it. ”

As soon as these words came out, no one in the room spoke, and the room was very quiet, except for the sound of the copper kettle boiling on the stove.

"Alas......" I don't know who sighed, or if everyone was sighing faintly in their hearts.

In this matter, we cannot say who is wrong, let alone who is completely innocent.

Maybe people are always afraid before they die, so afraid that they want a person to be with them forever in their hearts, love or hate, what really matters.

"Then what is the reason between you and Zhuo?" Phantom Wu asked the point, this is all the business of the previous generation.

"My master has always been very remorseful because of this incident, and he has been depressed all the year round, and his temper has become more and more irritable and moody.

Once, I accidentally made a mistake while smelting, and I hid it for her and wanted to make up for it myself, but the master found out.

He was very angry, I don't know if he thought of the past, gave me a heavy punishment, and asked me to swear that I would not fall in love with someone in the casting gate in this life, otherwise it would be against the teacher's order. ”

Changjue: "You promised your master?"

Ye nodded: "After I was punished, Master told me about the remorse in his heart over the years, love can always make people confused and make mistakes. Especially in the casting of the door, the refining of weapons is said to be a major event in the world, if there is one person who controls everything, it is undoubtedly a disaster. Therefore, there are strict regulations on the forging of various weapons in the casting door, and they have to be followed, and in such a situation, if there is selfishness in the heart, it is inevitable to make a big mistake. Yu just seized the loophole in Lian's heart for the friendship of his classmates, and between Lian and him, he couldn't understand, if the master was not so anxious and not blinded by jealousy, he might be more rational, not hurt Lian, and let himself regret it for life. ”

Ye choked up a little, he paused for a moment, and continued: "That was the first time Master cried in front of my eyes, and I couldn't help but agree to him. ”

"I'm curious," Lin Qiyi straightened up and leaned forward, "What kind of punishment have you received?"

Ye touched his beard and did not hide it: "Do you think I am willing to grow a beard and Mingzhi? ”

Lin Qiyi gasped: "Your master really did it!"

Ye shook his head: "Master ordered me to kneel in the refining room to think, but I couldn't stand it and fainted, so I fell by the fireside and burned my face." ”

Lin Qiyi: "Oh, it was an accident, I thought your master was crazy." I don't mean to disrespect the old man, but your master is a little extreme, and love must make people confused to the point of losing their minds, isn't it?"

"Lian Xin must be in love with your master, she is not sad that Yu took advantage of her, nor is she sad that your master hurt her, let alone blame your master for reporting this, as far as she is concerned, she must also want to pay the price for her actions. She was sad and sad, but your master didn't believe her. Phantom Wu had been listening to the conversation of several people, but he didn't say anything until this moment to agree with Lin Qiyi's words.

Chang Jue also nodded: "Those few words your master said hurt her, so much so that she didn't want to explain." It is really disappointing and uncomfortable to be questioned by a loved one. ”

"The past is always in the past, you think that the master's order is difficult to disobey, so what about Zhuo? You can bear to let her become another practice? You can say that you have no choice but to agree to your master, but what about Zhuo? Don't you think you are too unfair to her?" Phantom Wu always felt that some principles should be followed, and some truths should be listened to, but shouldn't all the rules be set by others.

Isn't life your own? Lie's words are not a hard rule in the casting door, but just a summary of his own life imposed on his own apprentices, who can say that it must be correct?

"Zhuo ......" Ye Nian was stunned as he muttered Zhuo's name, then shook his head again, smiled bitterly and touched his cheek, the scar covered by his beard could only be touched by himself: "A certain is no longer worthy of him, even so, it is better to be a person who believes in his word, at least worthy of the master......"

"Then I'll cut off my hand, and if I don't have my craft, you're no longer afraid of being a fool, right?"
